[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of moving from Arlington to McLean. We really love our small neighborhood elementary school - Innovation Elementary in N. Arlington. We are considering Langley/Mclean school district but keep hearing how big the class sizes are in Churchill Elementary and Springhill Elementary. Is that true? What’s the vibe at these schools? My son’s current Kg class at Innovation has 17 kids with 2 teachers and we’re very happy with it. It’s ranked 6/10 but the Mclean schools are ranked 8 and 9 out of 10. There is no AAP in Arlington, so that’s a motivation for us to move to Mclean. Are there any smaller elementary schools in Mclean/Vienna that feed to solid high schools?[/quote]

Visit Colvin Run ES in the Langley Pyramid[/quote]

Colvin Run is bigger than Churchill so if you’re looking for a smaller ES than Churchill or Spring Hill it’s not a good choice.  It also serves mostly Great Falls and Vienna, not McLean. [/quote]

Colvin Run ES is neighborhood school and an AAP Center only for Great Falls ES. It is under capacity.

All in-boundary kids will move on to Cooper MS and Langley HS.

It is a good pyramid to check out.[/quote]

The only thing is that the neighborhood is quite far away from Cooper and Langley, so it can be a long commute.[/quote]

When Colvin Run opened, the Langley parents in Great Falls were pissed about their kids having to cross Route 7 to attend a school with a Vienna address.  I assume they got over it eventually. [/quote]
